I'm planning to do a long-term recording / live stream with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 camera in the upcoming weeks. Only problem: The battery won't last for the entire duration.
So I'm finally coming back to the topic I promised at the end of last year: Building my own power adapter for this camera.
Pretty simple premise: Take a BLN-1 Battery, rip out the cells, and connect the +/- contact pads to a DC power supply. Spoiler: It really is that simple!
